Rabban’s Free Speech in Its Forgotten Years, a study of free-speech controversies between the time of the Civil War and World War I, I sought to consult a bibliography of English-language anarchist periodicals published in the United States to further investigate the scope of anarchist involvement in combating obscenity and labor laws that abridged the right to freely circulate reform papers through the mails, speak on street corners, and assemble in union halls. To my surprise, no such bibliography had ever been compiled. Consequently, the goal of my research shifted from investigating anarchist involvement in free-speech controversies to compiling a descriptive bibliography of English-language anarchist periodicals published in the United States, 1833–1955. Conceptually, this date range allows me to showcase the tremendous het- erogeneity of anarchist doctrine (individualist versus communist) and method (revolutionary versus evolutionary) in North America. The year 1833 marks the publication of Josiah Warren’s Peaceful Revolutionist. Warren has been described by George Woodcock as “undoubtedly the most important American individu- alist anarchist,”1 while the Peaceful Revolutionist is widely regarded as the first anarchist newspaper published in the United States. The individualist anarchist tradition is further developed through such papers as Liberty (1881–1907), The Word (1872–1893), Egoism (1890–1897), Age of Thought (1896–1897), Lucifer, the Light Bearer (1883–1907), and Clarion (1932–1934), while the communist anarchist tradition is well represented in such papers as The Rebel (1895–1896), Free Society (1897–1904), Mother Earth (1906–1917), Road to Freedom (1924–1932), and Vanguard (1932–1939). As to means of achieving anarchy, the revolutionary approach pulses through such papers as The Alarm (1884–1889), Regeneración (1910–1918), The Blast (1916–1917), and Man! xi xii EXPLANATORY NOTE (1933–1940), while the evolutionary approach is exemplified in such papers as Discontent (1898–1902), Demonstrator (1903–1908), Free Comrade (1900– 1922), and Modern School (1912–1922). Although histories of anarchism cus- tomarily end in 1939,2 I have chosen to extend my survey of anarchist period- icals published in the United States to 1955 in order to provide researchers a glimpse into the semiliterary, pacifist, and lifestyle politics of American anar- chism prevalent during the 1940s and 1950s.

  • The History and Philosophy of the Postwar American Counterculture
    The History and Philosophy of the Postwar American Counterculture: Anarchy, the Beats and the Psychedelic Transformation of Consciousness By Ed D’Angelo Copyright © Ed D’Angelo 2019 A much shortened version of this paper appeared as “Anarchism and the Beats” in The Philosophy of the Beats, edited by Sharin Elkholy and published by University Press of Kentucky in 2012. 1 The postwar American counterculture was established by a small circle of so- called “beat” poets located primarily in New York and San Francisco in the late 1940s and 1950s. Were it not for the beats of the early postwar years there would have been no “hippies” in the 1960s. And in spite of the apparent differences between the hippies and the “punks,” were it not for the hippies and the beats, there would have been no punks in the 1970s or 80s, either. The beats not only anticipated nearly every aspect of hippy culture in the late 1940s and 1950s, but many of those who led the hippy movement in the 1960s such as Gary Snyder and Allen Ginsberg were themselves beat poets. By the 1970s Allen Ginsberg could be found with such icons of the early punk movement as Patty Smith and the Clash. The beat poet William Burroughs was a punk before there were “punks,” and was much loved by punks when there were. The beat poets, therefore, helped shape the culture of generations of Americans who grew up in the postwar years. But rarely if ever has the philosophy of the postwar American counterculture been seriously studied by philosophers.

  • Neo-Malthusianism, Anarchism and Resistance: World View and the Limits of Acceptance in Barcelona (1904-1914)
    ■ Article] ENTREMONS. UPF JOURNAL OF WORLD HISTORY Barcelona ﺍ Universitat Pompeu Fabra Número 4 (desembre 2012) www.entremons.org Neo-Malthusianism, Anarchism and Resistance: World View and the Limits of Acceptance in Barcelona (1904-1914) Daniel PARSONS Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona abstract This paper attempts to identify the barriers to the acceptance of Neo-Malthusian discourse among anarchists and sympathizers in the first years of the 20th century in Barcelona. Neo-Malthusian anarchists advocated the use and promotion of contraceptives and birth control as a way to achieve liberation while subscribing to a Malthusian perspective of nature. The revolutionary discourse was disseminated in Barcelona primarily by the journal Salud y Fuerza and its editor Lluis Bulffi from 1904-1914, at the same time sharing ideological goals with traditional anarchism while clashing with the conception of a beneficent and abundant nature which underpinned traditional anarchist thought. Given the cultural, social and political importance of anarchism to the history of Barcelona in particular and Europe in general, further investigation into Neo-Malthusianism and the response to the discourse is needed in order to understand better the generally accepted world-view among anarchists and how they responded to challenges to this vision. This is a topic not fully addressed by current historiography on Neo- Malthusian anarchism. This article is derived from my Master’s thesis in Contemporary History at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona entitled “Neomathusianismo, anarquismo y resistencias: Los límites de su aceptación en Cataluña”, which contains a further exposition of the ideas included herein, as well as a broader perspective on the topic.

An Anthology of Emma Goldman’s MOTHER EARTH (1906–1918) is the first An A n t hol o g y collection of work drawn from the pages of the foremost anarchist journal published in America—provocative writings by Goldman, Margaret Sanger, Peter Kropotkin, Alexander Berkman, and dozens of other radical thinkers of the early twentieth cen- tury. For this expanded edition, editor Peter Glassgold contributes a new preface that offers historical grounding to many of today’s political movements, from liber- tarianism on the right to Occupy! actions on the left, as well as adding a substantial section, “The Trial and Conviction of Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman,” which includes a transcription of their eloquent and moving self-defense prior to their imprisonment and deportation on trumped-up charges of wartime espionage. of E m m A g ol dm A n’s Mot h er ea rt h “An indispensable book . a judicious, lively, and enlightening work.” —Paul Avrich, author of Anarchist Voices “Peter Glassgold has done a great service to the activist spirit by returning to print Mother Earth’s often stirring, always illuminating essays.” —Alix Kates Shulman, author of Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen “It is wonderful to have this collection of pieces from the days when anarchism was an ism— and so heady a brew that the government had to resort to illegal repression to squelch it.

It is meant to disseminate what we have deemed important information throughout our studies. This information may be used as a tool for all people, women in particular, who wish to dismantle the oppressions they face externally, and within their own lives. We are two men and one woman attempting to grasp at how we can deconstruct the patriarchal foundations upon which we perceive an unjust society has been built. We hope that at least some component of this work will be found useful to a variety of readers. This Zine is meant to be an introduction into anarcha-feminism, its origins, applications, and potentials. Buen provecho! We acknowledge that anarcha-feminism has historically been a western theory; thus, unfortunately, much of this ziners content reflects this limitation. However, we have included some information and analysis on worldwide anarcha-feminists as well as global women's struggles which don't necessarily identify as anarchist.

    THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS RARE BOOK AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS DIVISION THE RADICAL PAMPHLET COLLECTION Finding aid prepared by David Kennaly Washington, D.C. - Library of Congress - 1995 LIBRARY OF CONGRESS RARE BOOK ANtI SPECIAL COLLECTIONS DIVISIONS RADICAL PAMPHLET COLLECTIONS The Radical Pamphlet Collection was acquired by the Library of Congress through purchase and exchange between 1977—81. Linear feet of shelf space occupied: 25 Number of items: Approx: 3465 Scope and Contents Note The Radical Pamphlet Collection spans the years 1870-1980 but is especially rich in the 1930-49 period. The collection includes pamphlets, newspapers, periodicals, broadsides, posters, cartoons, sheet music, and prints relating primarily to American communism, socialism, and anarchism. The largest part deals with the operations of the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), its members, and various “front” organizations. Pamphlets chronicle the early development of the Party; the factional disputes of the 1920s between the Fosterites and the Lovestoneites; the Stalinization of the Party; the Popular Front; the united front against fascism; and the government investigation of the Communist Party in the post-World War Two period. Many of the pamphlets relate to the unsuccessful presidential campaigns of CP leaders Earl Browder and William Z. Foster. Earl Browder, party leader be—tween 1929—46, ran for President in 1936, 1940 and 1944; William Z. Foster, party leader between 1923—29, ran for President in 1928 and 1932. Pamphlets written by Browder and Foster in the l930s exemplify the Party’s desire to recruit the unemployed during the Great Depression by emphasizing social welfare programs and an isolationist foreign policy.

Nunca como ahora se ha hecho sentir tanto la necesidad de la divulgación del nombre y la obra de nuestros precursores. Cuando este volumen fue escrito, en 1938, formaba parte de unas ediciones conjuntas CNT-UGT dedicadas a ilustrar a la juventud que se iba formando en plena Guerra Civil y en plena Revolución Española. Los dos primeros volúmenes fueron de- dicados, el uno a Pablo Iglesias, escrito por Julián Zugazagoi- tia, y el otro a Anselmo Lorenzo, que se encargó a Federica Montseny. De esas primeras ediciones se hicieron muchos mi- les de ejemplares. Hoy no se encuentra ninguno en España. Y hay, en cambio, otra juventud española sedienta de conocer a los grandes teóricos del sindicalismo y sobre todo del anarco- sindicalismo que constantemente nos visita y nos asedia con demandas. De ahí quen «Espoir» haya decidido la tercera edi- ción de este volumen, que, por su precio módico y su lectura fácil, será un auxiliar precioso para el conocimiento de la figura de Lorenzo y de cuanto, en el curso de su vida ejemplar, cons- tituyó el clima social, las luchas y los empeños de su existen- cia, así como la de los miles de obreros que con él los com- partieron.

No. fr,September 15, IQOP -- Published by CHARLES H. KERR & COMPANY (CO-OPERATIVE) 56 Fifth Avenue, Chicago, 111. PREFATORY NOTE. On Sept. 5, 1901, William McKinley, Presi- dent of the United States, was shot by Leon Czolgosz, a self-declared anarchist. On Sept. 13 the President died of his wound. On Sept. 15, while the people were naturally in a state ~ of wild excitement orer the tragedy, ‘A. M. Simons, editor of the International Socialist Rericw, delivered the following address at the Socialist Temple, 120 South Western are- nue, Chicago. The hall was packed to the limit and hundreds were turned away. In response to the general desire of those present, the address is now published, in the hope that it may have some effect in remov ing the prejudice existing against socialism by those who ignorantly confound it with anarchy, Socialism vs. Anfrcby. a Once again the anarchists have proven them. selves the dearest foes of capitalism. The story, long grown old in Europe, haa been repeatti , here. The act of one fanatical criminal at Buf- falo has rallied every force of reaction and ex- ploitation as no avowed defender of capitalism could hope to do. It has long heen recognized in Europe that in every great emergency, when the forces of oppression ,are hardest pressed, they can always hope that some such de& $s this will come to their rescue. Indeed, Bis- marck, who must always hold the palm as the ablest defender of capitalism and the most cun- ning opponent of socialism that the nineteenth century has produced, did not hesitate, when necessary, to commit deeds of violence through the police in order to arouse public opinion.
